Top 10 reasons Hannah Montana rules
Hey, don’t know if you’ve heard, but Hannah Montana seems to be a bit popular right now. Can you believe it? Good thing we have some hard hitting journalism from the Dallas Morning News letting us in on the “Hannahmania” and why Ms. Cyrus is so popular, even though anyone that’s watched more than 5 minutes of the show with their kids can figure that one out.
So what is going on here? Why, pray tell, have little girls (and by extension their parents) gone nuts over a rhyming-named character with a raspy voice? Here are 10 reasons, thanks to statistical data, professional insight and, most importantly, the wise words of second-grade girls.
1. “She sings really good” was the first answer from most of the second-graders as they ate their sandwiches at Bluebonnet Elementary in Fort Worth. They also like her “sparkly” clothes, her funny TV show and the fact that she has her priorities in order. (OK, they didn’t put it like that.) Her TV brother wants to be popular, “but she really doesn’t care about that,” says student Skyla Fisher. “If she gets a chance to, she’ll probably go for it, but usually she doesn’t care.” As her pal Maddy Waite put it, “She’s a nice girl.” Which brings us to the next reason.
2. To parents, she’s as pure as the Disney-manufactured snow. This explains why Mom and Dad aren’t opposed to treating their kids to her concert, even if it means taking out a bank loan. (A recent check on stubhub.com showed 67 tickets available for the Fort Worth show, ranging from $145 to $1,600 each.) Hey, in a world full of fallen pop sweethearts (oh, Britney!) and other assorted tawdriness, we’re apparently willing to pay for a night of good, clean fun.
3. That “superhero in disguise” thing gets them every time. Just as no one ever clued into the fact that Clark Kent was the Man of Steel, Miley-Hannah also has her friends on the show fooled. How can this be? Second-grader Bailey Strother has a logical answer: “Because she has a ton of makeup on and has a wig on.” Ah, yes. Just like Clark’s clever glasses.
